About Us ( we want to make it to the RAAM) :)

 I grew up in a small town in northern British Columbia named Mckenzie. I have been cycling my whole life and started out on a kids bike, then a cruiser, then eventually a 10 speed, then to mountain biking in 1983. Cycling is just something I have never grown old of and still really enjoy. I love the people, the Teamwork, the competition, the atmosphere of sport, traveling to events, and the camaraderie of making lifelong friends, coaching and volunteering with young and older.

Our Team.

Team of Support for Race Across the West: Long time best friend and avid outdoor guru from Revelstoke BC, Graphic Designer and Avalanche Scientist, Brent Strand.

 Brent and I go back almost 15 years when he took me to my first ever 24 Hour Mtb Race in Canmore, 1998.

Bob Grunwald, Media and HR Manager for Bow Cycle, a friend of nearly 3 years now. Bob just has a thirst for adventure that seems to revolve around a 2 wheeled world. Bob and I worked closely during the Bowness Road race last year that went off perfectly I may add, due to his and Larry O's hard work.
And Paul Armer, also a dedicated Bow Cycle employee and Pilsner drinker who I've known for about 2 years now. Paul is a long time Pro Team Mechanic and has done many projects involving Team support such as some A.B.A Junior camp and Races. I hope Paul has a good camera for when we pass through the Monuments National Park...
